I saw this idea and thought it might be interesting to do.
    

What's the Circle Journey idea?
Circle Journey comes as a complete correspondence kit with a unique twist. Instead of sending individual letters, two or more people can now exchange a small, carefully designed Circle Journey book with blank pages. By adding notes and mementos page by page as they send it back and forth, the senders create a lasting keepsake - part scrapbook, part journal, and wholly original.

How do I describe it, and who is it for?
Circle Journey is a combination of letter writing, journaling, diary keeping, e-mail, scrapbooking, greeting cards, and pen-pals. Circle Journey books have been shared between friends of all ages, romantic couples, siblings, grandparents and kids, life partners, and family near and far, when someone goes on a trip, is college-bound, gets engaged, revives a friendship, is ill or healing, heads to camp, graduates, or falls in love.

The relationships and reasons to share this way of communicating are endless.

I thought maybe we could use our secret Santa addresses and send the scrapbook/notebook around the members.  Or else start a new list for people who want to add to it.  It could be the 2008 IHD.com members Scrapbook. An admin could get in in December and keep it as a file for members.  Then at get togethers we pull the books out and review our lives.

Just an idea.

I have done the circle journey book with two far away friends.  It's incredible.  It's fun and it's a great way to stay connected.  I can't recommend it enough.  You can write, do photos, drawings; just anything to keep connected.

Circle Journey has a website to order from, but it seems easy enough to do it on your own and save a little cash.

this  sounds  similar  to  a  friendship  book(fb),  it  can  be  as  big  or  as  small  as  you  wish.
the  person  who  starts  it  off, puts  there  details  in  there,  then  sends  it  off,the  last  person  to  fil  it  in  sends  it  back  to  whom  started  it.  i've  got  friendship   books  that  have  travelled  through  all  parts  of  the  globe  before  coming  back  to  me. :yahoo;
